This course is a writing workshop for students who wish to pursue creative writing. Through teacher lessons and models, students will learn about various genres of creative writing--including memoir, fiction, and poetry--and the craft of writing well. We will gain material for writing from our imaginations and our own life experiences. While writing assignments will be given, students will have ample opportunity to pursue their own writing interests and projects. Sharing one’s work and receiving feedback from others is a central part of the course. This individualized course can be taken more than once. This course does not fulfill graduation requirements in English.
